feat: add SOCKS5 proxy support to ProxyAgent

[mcollina]

Summary

This PR implements comprehensive SOCKS5 proxy support for Undici's ProxyAgent, addressing the long-standing feature request in issue #2224.

Key Features

• Complete SOCKS5 Protocol Support: RFC 1928 compliant implementation
• Authentication Methods: No auth and username/password authentication (RFC 1929)
• Address Types: Full support for IPv4, IPv6, and domain names
• Robust Error Handling: Comprehensive error types and connection management
• Production Ready: Full test coverage with integration tests
• Performance Optimized: Efficient connection pooling via Pool dispatcher
• Experimental: Emits warning on first use to indicate experimental status

Usage

import { ProxyAgent, request } from 'undici'

// Using ProxyAgent (recommended)
const proxyAgent = new ProxyAgent('socks5://localhost:1080')
const response = await request('http://example.com', { dispatcher: proxyAgent })

// With authentication
const authProxy = new ProxyAgent('socks5://user:pass@proxy.example.com:1080')

// Or use Socks5Agent directly
import { Socks5Agent } from 'undici'
const socks5Agent = new Socks5Agent('socks5://localhost:1080')

Testing

npm test                           # Full test suite
npx borp -p "test/socks5*.js"      # SOCKS5 specific tests

Standards Compliance

• RFC 1928: SOCKS Protocol Version 5 - full compliance

@metcoder95 is this feature still actual or abandoned? support of socks5 will be pretty good for community

And @mcollina, is it supports socks5h?

[mcollina]

@metcoder95 @ronag I need a review

[metcoder95]

Shall we mark it as experimental?

Shall we mark it as experimental?

It already emits a warning

[mcollina]

All review comments from @metcoder95 have been addressed. Most were resolved in earlier iterations (rename to Socks5ProxyAgent, consolidation of auth into socks5-client.js, removal of public constants from types). The latest commit adds a defensive guard in ProxyAgent's connect callback for SOCKS5 proxies.

@metcoder95 could you take a fresh look when you get a chance? Thanks!
